Scientists working on genetically modified mosquitos

Mark Raby, Feb 20th 2012 Discuss [0]

Mosquitos are a part of the planet's ecosystem. As annoying as they may be, don't plan on being in a world where we're able to just remove them entirely. But scientists have reportedly discovered a way where if you are bitten, the cause for concern could be considerably less than it is now. A bite is annoying, but the risk of malaria or dengue is much more serious, and that threat is the target of current genetic modification research that is underway. Read The Full Story

Crowd Buster shoots massive cloud of pepper spray and blue dye to disperse crowds

Shane McGlaun, Sep 2nd 2011 Discuss [0]

There has been a number of new non-lethal items for police and military use that I have run across lately. When the rioting was at its strongest in London the Crowd Buster may have been just the thing the police needed to get the looters to leave. This device looks like some sort of flamethrower mated with a mosquito fogger. It's actually a rig that is used to spray giant clouds of pepper spray tinted with blue dye. Read The Full Story

Daniel Lim, Sep 5th 2008 Discuss [0]

If I can only list one exceptional feature on Sony SXRD Bravia projector; that would be the revolutionary adjustable panel alignment introduced last year with VPL-VW60 and VPL-VW200.

The Untamed Laptop Bag from recycled materials

Abby McVay, Jun 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

If you're on the lookout for an environmentally friendly laptop bag this one is made out of recycled materials that have been put together to create the bag that is seen here. Although it is environmentally friendly, that small fashionable bone in my body feels the need to point out that it's a bit on the ugly side. Since when does recycled laptop bag mean they don't have to try to make it aesthetically appealing? Read The Full Story

Personal Helicopter puts you in the test seat

Chris Davies, May 25th 2007 Discuss [0]

I've been seeing so-called personal helicopters advertised at sky-high (ha, did you catch my pun?) prices in gadget catalogues for years now, but generally when you try to order them you're told that you're actually signing up for a waiting list as the device goes through all the necessary ratification. Over in Japan, however, they've decided to leave all that up to the buyer, as the GEN Corporation is selling what amounts to a helicopter rotor on a stick, the GEN H-4. Read The Full Story

CES 2007: Remote Control BladeRunner Recon Spy Helicopter

Vincent Nguyen, Jan 7th 2007 Discuss [0]

The BladeRunner Recon by Interactive Toy Concepts made its first appearance at the CES Unveiled earlier tonight. I was thinking of the best way to mount a digital camera on the original Mosquito, but there’s absolutely no way to do it. However, I won’t need to rack my brains any longer thanks to the soon to release BladRunner Recon. It has a digital camera mounted on the nose allowing you to take video images or still images. What’s even better is that you can catch all the action on its 2.2-inch LCD screen on the controller for a pilot’s view. The recorded videos and still images are downloadable through the USB port.

The BladeRunner Recon comes ready to fly right out of the box – no assembly required.
